A Dunn County township map answers two different questions around Dodge: which local township a property sits in, and where it falls on the survey grid. Below we sort out the kinds of townships in Dunn County and where to see each one.
How to use the Dunn County township map
Where civil townships exist in the county, they are named local units, and their duties near Manning depend on North Dakota law. The survey township cited in deeds near Dodge sits on the Public Land Survey System, in which each township is about 36 square miles; each holds 36 sections, so a farm near Hirschville may span two.

How the survey grid is numbered
Near Dunn Center, numbering starts with section 1 in the northeast corner, and the numbering ends at 36 in the southeast corner. Aliquot descriptions for land near Hirschville make sense in reverse: find the last quarter named first, then work inward.
